Ryun will be the featured speaker at the 6 a.m. Monday workout session at Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium.

“It’s not political,” said Eric Harr, an aide to the congressman.

Ryun will speak for about five minutes on what it takes to succeed as an athlete and will offer training tips, Harr said.

Ryun, who represents western Lawrence and most of eastern Kansas, is a KU graduate.
